Strawberry Yogurt Bites

Today we are talking about Strawberry Yogurt Bites! They are such a great snack for toddlers, children and adults! One of my favourite things about yogurt bites is that they are low in sugar, they do have added sugar, but not as much as most other sweet snacks. They are creamy and delicious  and highly addictive! Today I will share with you three of my favourite ways to eat strawberry yogurt bites. I will even include recipes so you can make them at home. :)


The first way that I use strawberry yogurt bites and probably the way I eat them most often is in a smoothie. I love yogurt bites in my smoothies because they make them creamier and add some sweetness.
I drink at least one smoothie almost every day, and I use different combinations all the time, but this one is one of my favourites!




 Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie
(all ingredients are freeze dried products from Thrive Life foods)

1/4 cup kale
3/4 tsp lemonade powder
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2  cup strawberries
1/4 cup strawberry yogurt bites












Add above ingredients to blender and blend into powder (this ensures that your smoothie doesn't have any chunks in it).





add in 1 cup of you liquid of choice, I choose almond milk most often, but I also use water or 2% milk frequently. Blend until smooth.


I find this makes a fairly thick smoothie, but if you like it really thick, ice cream consistency, add 2-3 ice cubes with your liquid before blending.



My second favourite way to eat strawberry yogurt bites is to make a dry snack mix. This is a great way to snack healthy and it's something that you can include the kids in making. My boys love to choose their favourite fruit, yogurt, nuts and seeds and put them together to make a mix specifically for them!
Don't feel like you have to follow my recipe exactly, we typically use whatever we feel inclined to eat that day. If you have a hankering for peanuts? throw them in! Don't have any freeze dried pineapple on hand? Leave them out! This is your mix, make it how you like it, this is just one version.



 Fruit & Yogurt Snack Mix 
(made with freeze dried foods from Thrive)
1/4 cup pineapple
1/4 cup strawberry slices
1/4 cup greek yogurt bites
1/4 cup strawberry yogurt bites
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup granola

Mix ingredients together and pour into a bowl. I typically leave my mix on the table and let the boys pick at it as they like. Oftentimes they pick out the things they like and eat them first! I like to take a handful and eat it all together.




 But the BEST way to eat strawberry yogurt bites....
Grab a handful! 
Yogurt bites are the perfect finger food. They are small and they melt in your mouth, so they don't pose a choking hazard. These are the delicious little morsels that got me started on Thrive. If you haven't tried them, NOW is the time! 
I love all the flavours, try them and let me know which one is your favourite! Strawberry, Vanilla, Blueberry, Pomegranate, Passionfruit, Cherry and Greek!

It's about time I finally got you another meal-in-a-jar. This is a recipe I got from my cousin while we were visiting her for a family reunion. Between the two of us, we have six kids and all six of them ate this and asked for more! That's a huge hit in my book, so I definitely needed the recipe. I made 6 jars so that I have lots for my pantry because I know my kids are going to want to eat this over and over. The one adjustment I made was not adding green chilies, and that's only because I didn't have any, not because I don't want them. Once I have some in stock, I will definitely add them to the jars.  As always, this recipe uses ingredients that are on sale from Thrive Life Foods this month. The instant rice is one of the items on sale, but I didn't have any on hand, so I just grabbed some from my local grocery store, use whichever is convenient for you.  I also don't have packages of taco seasoning, which is what the recipe calls for, I use it oft

Beef Stew Meal-In-A-Jar

My meal in a jar recipe for February is a traditional beef stew, like my mom always made when we were growing up. There are a few adjustments that you can make depending on how you are going to eat prepare and eat this meal, but however you do it, it's going to be classic and delicious!   We are currently in a nasty cold streak with daily highs around -20 Celsius and wind chills that often take our lows to -40 Celsius. In the midst of this cold snap, we had a hockey tournament. Just when you want to curl up with a good book all weekend, we are going back and for from home to rink, without much break between. Between games, I decided to make this recipe and throw it in the crock pot so that it would be ready when we came home and were in need of something to warm our bones. When I put it in the crock pot, I made a few adjustments that I'll explain. For a quick boil and serve meal, follow the instructions in the graphic. If you want adjustments for the crockpot, keep readin

Forgiveness

Just a random picture that I like (no it's not my husband that I'm talking about!) Okay, so I'm not one to get easily offended. Mostly I just let things slide (It's taken some work to get to this point). But when I do get offended, it really cuts deep and I have a hard time letting it go. There are only a few things that can bother me, and even then, it's really only comments from the people I care about that affect me. ('Cause let's be real, if I don't know the person, then they don't really know me and there opinion is basically meaningless). But sometimes I find someone really does strike that cord and it's hard for me to let go. I really want to get past this and find a way to not be so hurt by things. Recently I have had a person in my life say a few things (a few different things over time) that have really hurt me and I'm trying not to hold a grudge, but everytime I find myself feeling better about things and wanting to be around th
